S-Clarke Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I think Wilson Palacios could be a veryful useful acquisition. A great defensive midfielder that is proven in the EPL and never seems to get a game at stoke. I'd be shocked if he's made 10 league appearances since his move to stoke. He cost them £6million and even if they wanted to recoup that fee it would be a very good deal for us. I'm stunned at his lack of impact at Stoke to be honest. He was terrific at Spurs and lost his way through injury, it seems that the same injury problems have followed him to Stoke. There's no doubting that he is a terrific player though, a proper premier league box to box midfielder. If he can get over his injury problems I'd take him in a shot.

Bearsy Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Just to confirm, the approach was beginning of last season from a team who have been subsequently promoted to the Premier League. If I meant a team already promoted to the Premier League like QPR I would have said "had" rather than "have". People who know me understand that as a fellow of Oxford University I always choose my words carefully. See! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 For the third time, pay as you play. I've clearly said I'd never sign Hargreaves in a million years on a normal contract and wouldn't want anyone just there for the money. Sometimes on here people seem to make up their own point to argue against. I know what you said and I'm not making up a point. Three problems with a pay as you play deal: 1) He will want some form of basic wage, there's no way he'd take a deal whereby he is payed nothing for 4 or 5 months whilst he's injured. 2) If he is payed so little basic money, what do you think his match fee will be? £100k per match? He will want his money one way or another. 3) We're going to need another player just to cover him for the 9/10 games he's injured anyway, so we'll just end up paying someone else.

DrunkenSaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Davis Clyne Davies/Tomkins Jos Fox Jarvis Guthrie Schneiderlin Lallana Hooper Lambert New Keeper, Fonte, Cork, Lee ,Sharp Davies or Tomkins based on who doesn't go up. Not too sure on Clyne though, haven't seen much of him. It would be good having Baird back. No thanks Lee is alot better than Hooper, Lee stretches the defenders, helps the midfield and has pace, Hooper is too lazy for our style. I'm also sure Jarvis plays on the left, last time i saw Wolves on match of the day he played on the left but isn't a bag of pace, i'd go with Ince from Blackpool.

Saint Garrett Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 Is Jarvis left footed?Yes very left footed. Could see a bit of Lallana on the right next year if we sign Jarvis, although Adkins doesn't seem to like playing out and out 'wingers'. He likes the width to come from the full backs and the RM and LM float inbetween the CM and the forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggles31 Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 He plays a similar way to Lallana which is good that he is left footed. He really fits the mold in the sort of player we want. His crossing is pretty good too. SIGN HIM UP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchen_block4 Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 Might have a relegation release fee or something. 4m seems about right to me, but fans value their own players differently. Still, not a great bargaining position when you're relegated, need to cut costs a bit and the player wants to leave. He's been out of form so interest won't be as high as it was a year or so ago. Anything up to 6m and I think he'd be worth it. I wouldn't be surprised if he did have such a clause in his contract. I very much doubt he'll be playing Championship football next season, being fairly young and having good prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 Jarvis has played well both wings. I'm sure he could play opposite to Lallana or instead of him, or with Lallana central. We need a left footed wide player anyway. I think Jarvis would be perfect for providing crosses for Rickie. Exciting times. Problem is, if we signed a quality young English winger with premier league experience, a record breaking fee and within weeks of the season ending, what on earth would people moan about?The fact we're up for sale ?

AndyNorthernSaints Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 Plenty of players in the championship could do a good job for Saints in the premier league. Chris Burke and Curtis Davies at Brum would be good if Brum don't go up. Always rated Darren Ambrose at Palace and feel he could fit in well.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 I hope we get a player in with devastating pace. doesn't guarantee them to be a decent footballer though. Antonio and Papa Waigo had immense pace but rarely did anything constructive with it with the latter being needlessly offside majority of the time . I take your point though we defo need more pace but with end product as well. From what I seen Matt Phillips would be good but like with most wingers he can be a bit inconsistent. Finding a winger with pace who regularly supplies decent service will cost us big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwsaint Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 The way that Saints now buy players is as follows: - We speculate and are way off the mark - Saints announce a new player - We go 'never thought of him' or 'who is he?' - Several months later 'he was a good buy' eg Jos I expect to be surprised over the summer. The only thing that we normally get right is the areas that need strengthening. So my guesses are: - Up and coming goalkeeper to replace Bart - Cover at centre back - Holding midfield player - Someone quick up front I also think that NA is going to be careful not to upset the team ethic - so no Tevez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 Not sure we need a 'holding' midfielder, as all of our 3 midfielders are 'holding'. We need a box to box CM who is going to score a few goals. i.e. Sigardssonn sp? despite no chance, he is the sort of player we need in the middle of the park. We need a CB, RB, CM, RM, ST IMO. Also maybe a GK and a LB. But probably could do without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
